FAQ: Lightweight AT-1500 Toto Tow for General Aviation Aircraft

The AT1500 is a compact, microprocessor-controlled BLDC motor hub designed for moving aircraft on the ground. It is engineered to connect to the aircraft's nose gear, easing the towing of the plane without requiring a manual tow bar. The high torque power in wheel motor makes the process more efficient and less reliant on physical effort.
The Toto Tow AT1500 uses a BLDC in-wheel motor to tow an aircraft. It connects to the aircraft's nose gear and is controlled by a HALL effect microprocessor and motor. The specially designed motor and processor provides high torque with low speed and electronic throttle settings. The BLDC motor will provide equally high torque in forward or reverse.
The battery life of the Toto Tow AT1500 varies depending on the model and usage. Typically, the battery will last 30-45 minutes of heavy usage. It will offer several hours or days of intermittent use for short-term towing. enabling several aircraft operations before recharging. Most models are designed to last long enough for daily operations. A battery voltage and percentage available is provided on the control panel for easy reference.
A 95% recharge usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. It depends on the battery and charger capacity. Quick-charging models are available, allowing for faster recharging, especially in high-turnover environments.
The Toto Tow AT1500 operates efficiently in temperatures from -20°C (-4°F) to +50°C (+122°F). This makes it suitable for both cold and hot climates. It is always a good idea to check the manufacturer’s specifications for the exact range.
Currently, the Toto Tow is manufactured for Mooney aircraft. Other aircraft models including the Beech Bonanzas are under development and testing and are expected to be available in the 4 th quarter of 2025.
Current max capacity is 6,000 lb. This can vary with battery condition and extreme weather conditions and surface area.
The Toto Tow AT1500s uses a twist throttle linked to an embedded Hall effect microprocessor. This specially designed processor develops a maximum of 2200 watts. It shows battery voltage and battery condition including percent available to prevent deep discharging and ample time to recharge.
The Toto Tow AT1500s requires no scheduled maintenance, only regular inspections, battery charging, and checking for physical damage. The BLDC wheel hub motor and microprocessor controller is sealed.
The lightweight Toto Tow AT1500s operate effectively on concrete and rough asphalt surfaces. For best efficiency, ensure the ground is relatively smooth as rough or unprepared surfaces can affect their performance.
Yes, the Toto Tow AT1500 is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. They are especially useful in hangars where space is tight, and larger and heavy traditional towing methods may not be possible. However, the manufacturer should specify whether the device is approved for indoor use in terms of ventilation and safety standards.
The Toto Tow AT1500s are intended to be environmentally friendly. They only consume energy and power when towing. There is no carbon or fossil fuel used, making it extremely eco-friendly. Design and efficiency reach 85%. There are no moving pulleys, chains or belt pulleys involved. All the power and energy are developed by the Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) in-wheel “hall Effect “controlled motor providing an extremely high efficiency factor. The low energy consumption and battery operation make them ideal for reducing the carbon footprint in airports and hangars.
The motor is disabled by the controller and microprocessor when the battery reaches a preset discharge level. This is set during final stages of manufacture and prevents the Lithium Ion Battery from a deep damaging discharge. Batteries range from 2.5ah to 6.0ah and can be ordered to meet specific needs. The battery affects the weight, but all sizes are compatible and can be charged or changed as needed. A Spare battery and quick charger are included in the first purchase of the Toto Tow AT-1500.

The cost of a lightweight Toto Tow AT1500 is currently $7,250 USD including spare battery and charger.
